Psalm 35

A [Psalm] of David. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:1} Plead [my cause,] O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:2} Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:3} Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:4} Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:5} Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase [them.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:6} Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:7} For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:8} Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:9} And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:10} All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:11} False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:12} They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my soul. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:13} But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:14} I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or] brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his] mother. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:15} But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: [yea,] the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me,] and ceased not: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:16} With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:17} Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:18} I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:19} Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:20} For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against [them that are] quiet in the land. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:21} Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:22} [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:23} Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:24} Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:25} Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:26} Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify [themselves] against me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:27} Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 35:28} And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy praise all the day long.
